Sumario:Background: The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Worker Training Program developed instructor curriculum, a training tool, and materials to prepare trainees to conduct opioids workplace awareness training. Opioids and the Workplace Prevention and Response (OWPR) Train-the-Trainer (TTT) courses were held during three instructor-led online programs. Methods: The OWPR TTT was evaluated using an online pre- and posttest among registered participants, and an assessment of discussion among trainees during the training program. Results: A total of 31 pretests and 24 posttests were completed for the three TTT courses conducted. Quantitative and qualitative data complemented each other in supporting the conclusion that the training achieved intended objectives. Conclusion/Applications to Practice: The evaluation illustrated that the training was effective in increasing knowledge and confidence in conducting awareness training on opioid use and addiction prevention.
